A few lazy weeks in Malibu

I land in LA three hours before I leave Christchurch having crossed the International Date Line.

I am here to stay with Michael and he has rented a little house perched on a bluff in Malibu having recently returned from his own round the world adventure.  This is the longest by far I have been in any one place in 9 months and a nice way to wind down from the travel. During our time in Malibu, a mixture of practicalities and catching up with for Michael and site seeing for me, we formulate our next move.  We decide that as I am heading back to England, it might be fun to drive across America to the East coast and pick up a flight from there. Squeezing in one last adventure before the reality of hoping home hits hard.
